MLCW, Divorce is Started

[Irish M]

I agree with Kat
Teens have it hard enough with hormornal changes, stress, pressure, figuring out who they are and throw a MLC mom or dad in the mix. We can't imagine what's spinning in their heads.

They havent developed empathy yet and rebel against everything that is unsure to them. Some teens have it all. Happy families. Loads of friends, loving parents and great grades. Most have it tough. Low Self image, bad friends, can't grasp school or not liking school at all. Parents that do nott respect each other and are seperated showing their kids how to behave.

Just show your S love and patience. Give space but also give support. You don't want him bottling himself up. If he talks about his feeling don't make suggestions for him in the beggining . Let him talk and you listen. And no 101 questions lol teens hate that. Remember MLC'rs are teens so the same rules apply to your true teens. Questioning is a no no
As he opens up and doesn't feel judged or you don't give him all the answers in a way he's being told what to do he will open up more and more and the closer you will become.

Not easy I know but you are doing great
